Episode notes

The murky world of sponsors invites is back in the spotlight following the decision to grant Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker places in this week’s Memorial Tournament.

Should there be tighter restrictions on who sponsors are allowed to give exemptions to? Should they even be given that luxury at all? Michael, James and Lewis discuss that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Elsewhere, Steve Rider joins us to discuss the halcyon days of BBC Sport as well as his own, relatively recent prostate cancer diagnosis. He wants all men to get themselves checked and so do we.

Plus, why are we talking about ordained monks?!
